Personal Quote:
It's a continual problem when you don't have the lead. There's always the possibility you'll get cut; you have no control. If there's a scene with a character who isn't the lead and if it threatens the main story or detracts from it in any way, it doesn't make a difference how good it is. It goes.Trivia:
In both The Don Is Dead (1973) and The Dion Brothers aka The Gravy Train (1974) he plays one of two brothers who break the law... together, as partners. First with Al Lettieri and then with Stacy Keach. See more »Nickname:
